As Your Due Date Approaches
As you enter the last few weeks before your due date, you may begin to feel apprehensive about the impending birth - despite the fact that you are also excited and looking forward to meeting the new addition to your family! Nervousness about labor and birth is completely normal for all expecting mothers, but can often be more pronounced if this is your first child.
The Natural Way
Long before the advent of hospitals and modern allopathic medicine, certain herbs were used to prepare the mother safely for birth. Knowledge of these herbs was handed down from generation to generation and each community had its own midwives who were skilled in the care of women during pregnancy and childbirth. While modern medicine has helped to eliminate some of the problems associated with childbirth, it has brought its own set of problems and the ancient wisdom of the use of herbalism in childbirth has been largely lost to Western society.
These days, pregnancy and childbirth are often seen as medical 'conditions' to be managed almost like illnesses in modern hospitals - rather than as normal, healthy processes which are part of everyday life. Today there are more and more women who are turning away from the medical approach to birth and choosing to give birth naturally. This has resulted in a renewed interest in herbs traditionally used during childbirth.
What are Propartum Drops?
Propartum Drops is a 100% natural, safe and effective herbal formula that prepares and tones the uterus for birth and helps to calm the mother-to-be, supporting a healthy and satisfying birth.
Propartum Drops can also help to support the physical and mental endurance necessary for labor and facilitate an easy, positive childbirth experience.
How have Propartum Drops helped others?
'As much as I wanted a child I had put off getting pregnant for years due to fear of pregnancy and childbirth and doubts about whether I would cope! When I finally did fall pregnant (by mistake!) I realized that I had to prepare for labor and birth in a positive and pro-active way and take measures to overcome my fears. I joined a group for pregnant women which was very helpful and I found great support in speaking to others going through the same things that I was experiencing. One of the friends I met in this group who was pregnant for the third time suggested your ProPartum Drops to me when she heard about my anxiety. I took them for the three weeks before my due date and found myself feeling calmer and more in control.
When I went into labor I was a lot more relaxed than I could have ever imagined I would be and the whole process went really smoothly. I now have the most beautiful baby boy to show for my pregnancy and I can’t imagine how I would have done it without your wonder-drops! Thank you so much!'
- Proud new mum, Helena G.
'I want to let you know how much I love your products and especially want to mention the ProPartum Drops which I think helped me the most. My first childbirth was a harrowing experience and something that I vowed I would never go through again. Because we were desperate for a second child as well as the fact that time fades memories and so many women told me how much better the second labor is compared to the first, I changed my mind and fell pregnant again. I took a number of your remedies through my pregnancy and loved all of them. The ProPartum Drops have a special place in my heart though due to their amazing effectiveness at reducing my anxiety and helping me get through the delivery with very little pain and without any hitches.'

Propartum Drops contain the following proven ingredients:
Squaw Vine (Mitchella repens) is a herbal remedy known to be very effective in preparing the body for a safe labor and birth. Native Americans have used this plant for the facilitation of childbirth for many centuries. This herb improves contractions leading to an easier and shorter labor and also decreases pain and calms nervousness.
Raspberry leaves (Rubus idaeus) are known to be an excellent herbal supplement for pregnant women, especially those who are nearing the very end of their pregnancy. This herb improves the tone of the uterine ligaments, optimizes the health of the mother and growing baby, prevents premature birth and facilitates labor and delivery. Raspberry leaves will also help to prevent swelling and bleeding after the birth.
Passiflora incarnata also called Passion Flower - is used as a natural sedative and can relieve anxiety and nervousness as well as pain experienced during labor. Passiflora will help to reduce fear about the impending birth and is also valuable for its balancing effects on blood pressure.
Glycyrrhiza glabra (Licorice) is a powerful anti-inflammatory herb and an excellent tonic for the uterus and for stimulation of contractions. It can increase endurance and vitality necessary for the labor process and is very useful for combating stress. In traditional use, tea of the licorice root has been used successfully for reducing fever during childbirth and aiding the easy delivery of the newborn as well as the placenta.

FAQ’s
Q: How will I know when I’m really in labor?
A:
There are a number of signs to indicate that you are in labor. Although you should be aware of these signs, remember that many women experience things differently and what may apply to you may not apply to others. This is perfectly normal. Also remember that 'false alarms' are common and many women mistake the normal activity of late pregnancy as an indication that they are going into labour. This is a time when your body is 'getting into gear' and there may be one or two 'practise runs' before the real thing! If you arrive at the hospital or birthing centre certain that you are in labour only to be sent home - don’t be embarrassed - it happens all the time!
Some of the signs of labour that you should look out for are:
Regular contractions which become more frequent, closer together and increase in intensity. While the normal contractions of late pregnancy (called 'Braxton Hicks' contractions) may often be mistaken for the onset of labor, you can be relatively certain that labor has begun if your contractions have been going for about an hour, are evenly spaced about 5 minutes apart and last for about a minute each.
A gush or constant trickle of fluid from the vagina indicating that your waters have 'broken'.
Passing of the mucus 'plug' that keeps the uterus closed during pregnancy. This is sometimes called a 'show'.
A bloody or brownish mucus discharge accompanying the above symptoms.
Don't hesitate to call your midwife, doctor or birth assistant if you are not sure. They will be able to reassure you and want to know of any changes that occur -even if you are not yet in true labor. You are also welcome to use our free Ask Us email or telephone helpline for more personalized service.
Q: How painful is childbirth really?
A:
Many first time mothers ask this question and characteristically receive lots of vague reassurance from friends and family - along with a host of 'horror stories' about their own birthing experiences! The truth is that most labor comes with some degree of pain - but this varies from woman to woman and can range from mild to severe. Many women also report that, while they experience pain, this is different in quality from other types of pain - especially as there is such a great reward at the end of it and they know that it will last for a relatively short time only. Perception and tolerance levels of pain also play a large part in how you experience your labor and there are many things which can be done to reduce pain and assist with a more comfortable delivery.
Q: How do I know that these herbs are safe during pregnancy?
A:
Propartum Drops contain herbs which have been safely used for centuries in traditional folk medicine to prepare women for childbirth. Because of their tonic effect on the uterus, they should not be used during the earlier stages of pregnancy, but only in the last two to three weeks, to strengthen contractions and prepare the uterus for birth. Despite the safety of the herbs during this time, it should be remembered that herbs are medicines and should therefore be used in pregnancy only under supervision of your doctor, midwife, doula or other health professional.
What else can help?
Prepare yourself mentally, physically and spiritually for the birth by reading books on childbirth, joining a support group for pregnant women, speaking to other mothers or even your own mother or mother-in-law.
Take good care of yourself in the form of a balanced diet, getting enough rest, relieving stress, meditating and talking with your partner about the future. This will be invaluable in preparing yourself for labour, birth and parenthood.
Organize a birth plan including the place you would like to deliver (e.g. home, birthing centre or hospital), who should be present and your preferences of medical interventions in different circumstances.
A supportive environment at the birth has been shown to be one of the most important factors in the speed of delivery and how much pain the mother feels. Think carefully about who you would like to have present at the birth for support and consider a trained doula or birthing assistant.
